Switzerland is subject to Ukraine at the start of the Nations League 1: 2. The team lagged behind from the start, but was able to equalize before the break. There was no response until the second half.

The Swiss started with courage, he made good passes that were mostly badly processed. After ten minutes, his efforts were disrupted, but more violently. Atalantas Malinowski hit the post, it would have been a dream goal. Four minutes later it was 1-0 anyway, because Zuber Tymchuk couldn’t follow suit, Sommer let his shot rebound and Yarmolenko was able to push the ball over the line with his heel.

Much play, few opportunities

After the leadership, Ukraine plugged the center. Xhaka and Sow barely came to light, if something happened it was on the wings or due to errors in the local team structure. There was seldom a very great danger, but Switzerland ran into counterattacks at one time or another. And again and again Vladimir Petkovic screamed: “Move!”

Little of that came through. And so Seferovic flopped back a bit instead of waiting in the penalty area. Shortly before the break he got the ball, shot after a body deception and scored to equalize. It’s Seferovic’s 19th goal for Switzerland, a particularly good one.

Zinchenko punishes the passive Swiss

But it is also the last Swiss goal of the match. Even in the second half, Petkovic’s team liked the pressure they put on their opponents. Aside from a Vargas header off a Steffen cross, he was hardly dangerous. Ukraine, on the other hand, took too much advantage of a mistake. Mbabu started the attack for the home team, Manchester City’s Zinchenko finished well.

Yarmolenko scores to make it 1-0

Playing

The game in Lviv is over. Despite dominance, the Swiss are losing.

Ukraine 2: 1 (1: 1) Switzerland

89. Minute

In the setup game, the captain makes a regrettable mistake. He can only clear the ball.

87. Minute

After a Rodriguez duel, Steffen reaches the ball and from the corner pushes it past the goal. Finally, another good opportunity for Switzerland. Now you are applying more pressure again. All Ukrainians are in their own half of the square.

81. Minute

Petkovic takes influence again. Michel Aebischer comes for Djibril Sow.

78. Minute

After a counterattack, Yaremchuk closes. Elvedi fakes the ball and thus becomes the template for Junior Moraes. However, the latter cannot control the ball and is deformed. Back then, against FC Basel, he did better.

73. Minute

Rubén Vargas no longer works. For him comes Celtic striker Albian Ajeti.

72. Minute

Substitute Roman Yaremchuk finishes from the second row. It’s not a bad shot, and yet Sommer doesn’t have to intervene.

68. Minute

TOR for Ukraine! Zinchenko hits for Schlenzer. Mbabu isn’t close enough and that’s why the Manchester City player can use it as smooth as butter. Nice shot from Zinchenko.

66. Minute

The Ukrainian striker only finds Yann Sommer’s hands with his long-range shot.

63. Minute

The Wolfsburg player hits a ball in the middle. There, the tall Ukrainians rise higher than Seferovic.

60 minute

The center of the Atalanta Malinovskyi player does not contribute anything. The Ukrainian star also did not benefit from the second free kick.

59. Minute

Ekberg takes the first yellow card after just under an hour. Nico Elvedi is late.

55. Minute

Yevhen Konopljanka has to give way to Roman Yaremchuk.

55. Minute

Little Rubén Vargas heads from a good post position. Pyatov would have been defeated there.

53. Minute

Mbabu looks for his forward with a cross. However, he only heads one Ukrainian. Switzerland now returns with more games.

50. Minute

Ruben Vargas receives the ball in the penalty area, but loses the moment to play. This is how a Ukrainian can clarify.

45. Minute

Renato Steffen is supposed to bring new winds and replace the hapless Steven Zuber.

Start Game

The players are back on the grass. Now the second half can begin …

The two heavyweights of the group compete in Stuttgart. There have been no goals yet between Germany and Spain.

Germany 0-0 (0-0) Spain

The Swiss started out compromised and cut the Ukrainians from behind. If they lost the ball, they pressed with a lot of pressure. However, the Swiss did not have good opportunities. The pressure was his undoing soon after. After a counterattack, Yarmolenko pushed the ball over the line with his heel. However, the Swiss were surprised.

Then they reached the goal. After a few average chances, Seferovic perked up and hit the ball unsustainably into the net. In the 1-1 draw it remained until the break.
